his isolationist foreign policy and clan to eliminate federal deficits in five years makes it imprudent to jump in with both feet. consider on tuesday paul endorsed a version of immigration reform that would allow the 11 million or so undocumented immigrants in this country to become legal. the week before he defied the hawks in his party to lead a 13-hour filibuster in protest of the obama admission's secretory over its drone war fare program. >> dan senor, you've been involved in republican presidential primaries lately. sorry about that. how would those issues stack up in new hampshire and iowa and south carolina and florida? >> i think the politics, his politics on pure fiscal issues will have tremendous resonance as his father experienced in some primary states and caucus states. i think what is untested is -- from a -- from a political standpoint is his position on foreign policy. his father never really broke through on the neoisolationist politics at the grassroots level beyond a narrow segment of the electorate. rand who i've spent time talking about these issues is much salvie

will they give the president a major deficit reduction victory or not? if they really believe that needs to be done and the president put something on the table that gets them significant entitlement reform and savings, i think they've got to do it. >> harold, i think the possibility of deals and immigration, possibility of deals on guns, possibility of deals on the budget, on the long-term debt, i think the possibilities are actually -- excuse me for being optimistic, pretty darn good on all fronts. you've got republicans who daily are holding press conferences wringing their hands trying to figure out how to save their party. and you have a president who, again, he's a 47%, pretty damn good considering everything. but still, he wants to be over 50% and he wants a legacy. he doesn't want to just talk about what he did the first two years. >> i agree. i believe the prospects for progress on both immigration and gun control are gun regulation. if we get progress on the budget and the debt. i think immigration and gun regulations are easier to win. if the

because, you know, there's kind of a trust deficit here now. if i was living in spain or italy, i might be thinking about putting my money someplace aside from a shaky bank right now. >> reporter: so the trust deficit stems from the original proposal was that they should tax not just uninsured deposits, but also insured deposits. imagine if you were living in the united states and even though we have fdic insurance up to $250,000, you were told that actually you're not going to get all $250,000 of your dollars, they were going to take a piece of that. that was the earlier proposal from earlier this week and that's what they thought would worry the italians and the span yards that they didn't even have insurance protection like they thought they did. that proposal has since been voted down, gone away. the banking situation here is unique compared to italy and spain. it's just so much bigger, it's not really comparable. >> thank you so much, michelle, we greatly appreciate it. and thank you, rona, we appreciate it as well. i think we learned some
